To top it off, they released a trailer where Kaley, in full character, announces the news herself. Talk about making an entrance!
Harley Quinn: The Evolution of a Beloved Character
Let’s take a trip down memory lane. Harley Quinn first burst onto the scene in the 1990s as part of Batman: The Animated Series, created by writer Paul Dini and artist Bruce Timm. Over the years, Harley has become one of the most beloved characters in the DC universe, thanks in no small part to her dynamic portrayal by Margot Robbie in Suicide Squad. Harley has always been the Joker’s unpredictable sidekick and occasional love interest. Sure, she’s crazy, but let’s be honest—Joker might just take the crown when it comes to being a homicidal maniac.

Behind the Scenes: The Creators Speak
In a recent video interview with DC Comics, Paul Dini shared his thoughts on Harley’s origins. “When we first introduced Harley, I thought she’d just be a fun character to toss into a few episodes,” he said. “Bruce Timm’s design was brilliant, and my friend Arleen Sorkin brought her to life with an unforgettable voice. She clicked so well with the Joker, and even after we took her off-screen for a bit, she kept coming back. There was just something special about her—she wasn’t just another henchperson. She had this energy that made her stand out, and we loved exploring her relationship with the Joker.”
Bruce Timm also weighed in during a Syfy Channel interview. “I always knew Harley was popular, especially when I’d see all those Harley Quinn cosplayers at conventions,” he said. “It’s fascinating how her popularity has grown over the years, even when I wasn’t directly involved in her development. Watching her evolve from afar has been truly interesting.”
Kaley Cuoco: Bringing Harley to Life
And now, the spotlight shifts to Kaley Cuoco. Not only is she voicing Harley Quinn, but she’s also producing the show through her production company, Yes, Norman Productions. With her comedic timing and star power, Kaley is the perfect choice to bring Harley’s quirky charm to the screen. Fans of both The Big Bang Theory and DC Comics are buzzing with excitement about what’s to come.
Mark your calendars—Harley Quinn is set to premiere in 2019. Get ready for a wild ride!
